DS 3: Access / Proximity Keyless Entry and Start
DS 3 2016-2025 Owners Manual
This is a Keyless Entry and Starting system.
It enables automatic vehicle locking/unlocking
simply by detecting the electronic key.
As long as the driver has the electronic key on
their person, the vehicle unlocks as they approach
and locks when they walk away.
If the electronic key is present in an area between
2 and 7 m from the vehicle for more than 30
minutes, the system is deactivated to preserve
the battery.
Key recognition zones:

Zone A: welcome lighting on approaching the
vehicle (between 3 and 5 metres from the
vehicle).
Zone B: automatic locking on leaving the vehicle
(about 2 metres from the vehicle).
Zone C: automatic unlocking on approaching the
vehicle (between 1 and 2 metres from the vehicle).
The automatic functions are
configured
via the Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.
With the electronic key on their person, the driver
can also lock and unlock their vehicle by pressing
the retractable handles.
For more information on Retractable handles,
refer to the corresponding section.
Helps you to locate your vehicle from a distance,

Other information:
The system may suggest an inappropriate
parking space (parking prohibited, work in
progress with damaged road surface, location
alongside a ditch, etc.).
The system may indicate that a space has
been found but will not offer it because of a fixed
obstacle on the opposite side of the manoeuvre,
which does not allow the vehicle to follow the
trajectory required for parking...
Available in some countries.
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) messages
are based on a European standard for traffic
information broadcasting via the RDS system on
FM radio, sending traffic information in real time.
The TMC information is then displayed on a GPS
Navigation system map and taken into account
straight away when routes are calculated, to
avoid accidents, traffic jams and closed road..
